Thermodynamic Approach to Quantifying Incompatible Instruments

CY Hsieh, SL Chen - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We consider a thermodynamic framework to quantify instrument incompatibility via a
resource theory subject to thermodynamic constraints. We use the minimal thermalization …

Correlations enable lossless ergotropy transport

R Simon, J Anders, KV Hovhannisyan - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.10468, 2024 - arxiv.org
" A battery powers a device" can be read as" work stored in the battery is being transported
to the device." In quantum batteries, the total amount of stored work can be measured by …

Contextuality in anomalous heat flow

NE Comar, D Cius, LF Santos, R Wagner… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
In classical thermodynamics, heat must spontaneously flow from hot to cold systems. In

Informational non-equilibrium concentration

CY Hsieh, B Stratton, HC Weng, V Scarani - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Informational contributions to thermodynamics can be studied in isolation by considering
systems with fully-degenerate Hamiltonians. In this regime, being in non-equilibrium--termed …
